Abstract: A method for the transmission of data via an Inter Communication Link (ICL) to a receiver unit is provided. The method identifies data to be transmitted in a memory cell of a data storage. The method continues by extracting the address of the memory cell and extracting the data word from the identified data. The method continues by calculating a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) checksum from the extracted address of the memory cell and the extracted data word. The method continues by generating a data packet to be sent by appending a start frame delimiter and a stop frame delimiter to the extracted address of the memory cell, the extracted data word and the calculated CRC checksum. The method continues by sending the data packet.

Abstract: A method for implementing and attaching at least one structure-integrated optical waveguide in a laminate component. In the method, at least one optical waveguide is introduced at a predetermined position during a laying procedure of a laminate to produce a laminate component. Furthermore, the laminate component is finished, wherein the optical waveguide is completely enclosed by the laminate. Furthermore, at least one end of the optical waveguide is exposed. Furthermore, a coupling component is attached to the at least one exposed end.

Abstract: A method for the common representation of safety-critical and non-safety-critical information on a display unit of a vehicle. The method includes receiving non-safety-critical information and producing at least one graphic presentation of the non-safety-critical information. The method also includes receiving safety-critical information and producing at least one graphic presentation of the safety-critical information. In addition, the method includes representing the presentations of safety-critical and non-safety-critical information on the display unit, the representation having at least two representation planes. The non-safety-critical information is represented on a rear, in the direction of view of the observer, plane of the at least two representation planes, and the safety-critical information is represented on a front representation plane.

Abstract: A network module for sending and/or receiving of data packages from a network arrangement located in a network with ring structure, wherein the data package includes at least one data package segment, a source address, a destination address and an identification number. The network module includes a first network interface and a second network interface, for receiving and/or sending of data packages via the ring structure, a processor configured to determine, based on the destination address, if data packages received are directed to the network module and to determine if the source address and/or the destination address are contained in a predefined list of the network participants, to determine, based on the source address and the identification number, if a copy of a data package directed to the network module is already created in a memory, to create a copy of the data package in the memory.
